I love it and would love even more so to hear the song.
It’s sucks that we have so little control over who we fall for or who they fall for.

I am sure that the strength within your words will pull you up from the oceans depths of despair and that strength will take into the glory of your life\'s journey.

keep writing and emptying your mind of such toxic thoughts,
by doing so - you\'re making space for all-things new and hopefully, though most likely unsuspectingly you\'ll find someone noticing you: too...
Happy holidays,
onwards to that New Year, where our \'next\' - awaits!

Write another poem using only third-person pronouns a moment of clarity may emerge. Works for me sometimes.

Affairs of the heart are not what I normally do, but as this is the last one for this year:
Good real friends are hard enough to come by, so the best I can offer is to say, stay with it. All too often the very close type of relationship you wanted can end in grief anyway, while a good solid friendship can last through all kind of difficulties.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:
ANGELA here - Good Morning Friend thanks for a very thought provoking Poem! It must be difficult for someone as Beautiful - Kool & Smart as you ar to be judged by *The Color of Your Skin & NOT the Quality of Your Character* In the UK we had hoped that when Obama was elected that MLKs Dream wuld have been fulfilled but it wasnt. We have noticed - when we visit the USA - that the Afro-Americans & Hispanics tend to do the lower paid jobs & are often treated with disrespect by Whites. Im half Spanish so I can empathise. Trump is a White Man in A White House who oft wears a White Suit for Him & His Cohorts WHITE LIVES will always matter more than BLACK ! You can reverse matters by Prayer & Voting for Joe Biden & the Lovely KAMAL HARRIS (who could one day be PRESIDENT) in November - AMEN!
Blessings & Joy & Peace to You & Yours
Love ANGELA & BRIAN (UK) 💛💛💛

You\'ve every right to be angry and express it wherever and whenever you wish to. Here on MPS you\'ll find support. It\'s good to read authentic straight from the heart words of one who lives in the words she shows us.
Yes, it hits home.

Ahh the dream state, fantasies and our subconscious minds. It’s no wonder we like and require a few moments to rest there.
Thanks for sharing.

Insanity
Nicholas Browning said:
Insanity isn\'t for the weak willed, that\'s for sure.
It is a method used to survive!
Bit of a melancholic read.

Things You Break
dusk arising said:
Yes, breaking even would be nice.
Do we only notice the breaks inflicted upon us, the things stolen from us? We all can break things without realising the damage we do. I\'m thinking of the hearts we can break when the owner means little to us.... but isn\'t there a kindness in that breaking, rather than misleading.
Maybe we can steal a heart without ever noticing that too.

When it Escapes You
BRIAN & ANGELA said:
WELCOME FRIEND ~ Thanks for your first Poem ! We can all empathise with this elegantly penned Poem (full of rhythm ~ rhyme ~ reason) because the things we value most Happiness ~ Love ~ Light ~ Sanity ~ Life itself ~ escape us all the time but hopefully not all at once ! I\'m only 1/3 rd through my life (35 !) but I have enough experience to know the importance of the things you highlight !
HAPPINESS is as transient as Rainbows ~ Enjoy it while you have it ~ dont fret when you dont !
LOVE always HURTS but as a Man my MANTRA is \"Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all\" In my experience Unrequited Love is harder for Ladies to bear ~ I always treat them with respect & TLC
LIGHT & HEAT are important for PHOTOSYNTHESIS (if you are a Plant) and METABOLISM (if you are an Animal) I always look for relationships that provide me with LIGHT (enlightenment) and HEAT (Human kindness)
SANITY ~ The BRAIN is the most important ORGAN in the Human Body ~ my experience is That Visual Art ~ Music and Literature (especially Poetry) keeps me sane and stops me from going MAD or SENILE (please check my site which is always a symbiosis of all THREE)
LIFE ~ That is your most precious possession ~ always cherish and protect it ! A person who is only half (or even only 25% look at Stephen Hawkins !) alive is infinitely better off than one who is Physically Dead ! When I visit a friend in the MORGUE ~ I know for them IT\'S OVER ~ IT\'S OVER ~ IT\'S OVER ~ I don\'t want to be in that State for at least another 70 years when I will be 105 and perhaps past my Sell by Date ?
Love your poem ~ more please ~ Yours BRIAN (UK) MPS works by reading & commenting ~ OK ~ B !
